....hearing, seeing, and reading for the last couple of decades. Rush and the other radio/TV wingnuts have made fortunes fanning the flames of a small coalition of NeoCon, Neofascist, Christian extremist, and other ultra right-wingers. That coalition seized control of the GOP and forced out every single moderate politician and replaced them with people who thought the same way they did. As a result, the GOP no longer represents REAL mainstream conservative thinking of any kind.

I keep wondering when mainstream Republicans are going to revolt and throw out the extremists who have done so much damage to the country and will continue to do so if allowed to stay in power.
